It's time for another Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge! Here are the details and the inspiration photo for this week's challenge to help you get started:
I'm still stuck on stars and decided to use the Simply Stars stamp set to create the ornaments for my card. I stamped and embossed them, snipped them out, added some sparkly Baker's twine, then popped them up on dimensionals. A wide band of gold glimmer paper and an embossed sentiment add visual balance to the overall layout. Super simple yet very elegant! I hope you like the final results as much as I do! Please let me know what you think by leaving me a comment! I really love sharing my work with you and love hearing from you too!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Simply Stars, Sweet Essentials
Paper: Whisper White card stock; gold glimmer paper
Ink: Gold Encore Metallic
Tools: Heat gun, Paper Snips, Stamp-a-ma-jig
Extras: Clear embossing powder, Gold/White Baker's Twine, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive
Adorable with a touch of elegance!
